Becky Keitch - Philosophy for Children – P4C
PHILOSOPHY FOR CHILDREN (P4C) is a worldwide educational movement that began in 1972 with the work of Professor Matthew Lipman and colleagues at the IAPC (Institute for the Advancement of Philosophy for Children) at Montclair State University, New Jersey. Lipman’s project was to encourage pupils to be more reasonable, using the discipline of philosophy to help children become more intellectually energetic, curious, critical, creative.

Witness Sessions: The Enquiring School
The purpose of the “Witness” sessions is to provide an effective and focused forum through which enquiries of three “witnesses” can be explored in an interactive way with FLARE residential participants.

In each session the witness has been asked to give a basic 10 minute account, and the onus is on the colleagues attending the session to gain further insight and understanding through cross questioning the witness. In this way these sessions aim to promote in-depth engagement of colleagues with the experiences, thinking and enquiries of the witnesses
